Both locomotives were overturned. As the passenger train had just left a station It was not going at a very high rate of speed. On this account the cars did not leave the rails. The collision was caused by the crew of a locomotive that was trying to leave the coal pockets and cross the main track In front of the train. Frailk Kobbins, engineer of the wrecked train, and his tircman, Hurt Millspaugh, were in- Istantly killed. Both men were residents of Susquehanna. An Krle detective named Samuel Hempsted, of C 'lnrksville, fa., was thrown from a baggage car and received Injuries that may result fatally. The hostler in charge of the locomotive that caused the wreck Is held responsible for the accident and he has disappeared.

Dr. Broenlng, pastor of the Ashley Presbyterian church, preached In tho Broad street Presbyterian church yesterday morning and formally declared the pulpit vacant, in accordance with the recent action of the Presbytery of Lackawanna. Dr. Broenlng took as his text the Scriptural passage, "Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in." His sermon was a strong and eloquent presentation of the truth that the prosperity of the Church of God depends on the indh-Jdual faithfulness of each member and that If the church is to reach the masses it must be done through the C'fforts of the individual church members. A large congregation was In attendance. No service was held in the church last evening. Rev. D. T.

It will be the first time the anthracite and the bituminous coal operators will be combined against the coal miners' union. Heretofore one or the other kept their mines going while a strike existed in the other region.

"I have simply sought to demonstrate the idea that human labor is entitled to at least the same consideration as coal or other Inanimate product. But, either through misunderstanding or design, the Impression has been conveyed to the public that we were going to New York next spring and walk up to Mr. Baer and his colleagues and deliantly assert: 'Here, Mr. Baer, we have the labor of 160,000 men to sell, we want so much wages for It. You can take It at our price or leave it alone. We'll keep It until you need It badly enough to pay our price for it,' while as a matter of fact, our whole ambition is to be able, when we do meet the anthracite operators for the purpose of negotiating a new agreement to say: 'We are here as the spokesmen and representatives of all the men and" sous.

Melanie chapel was filled at the annual Rally Day services of the Sunday .school, held last evening at 7:80 o'clock. The exercises were as follows: "The Rally Day Call," read by Miss Jean Thompson; two anthems by the choir, under the direction of Armln Fedden; a duet, "Yield Not to Temptation," by Ethel Field and Jennie Newton; a quartette by Anna Keid, lOtliel Field, William Williams and Armin Kedden; a duet, "I Shall Know Him," by Helen Richmond and Kthel Field; responsive readings and hymns by the audience, and addresses by Mrs. C.

Three topics highly Important at this time to Hie American people will be discussed by the president in his message. They are the federal regulation and supervision of life Insurance, the relations between tills country and Venezuela and America's interest in the tlseal affairs of the government of Santo Domingo. She remained in her Joom the greater part of Saturday. About 4 o'clock that afternoon a chambermaid had occasion to enter the room, hut found the door locked. She rapped on the door but received no response. Assistance was .summoned and another attempt was made to arouse the woman. Then she responded faintly but did not open the door. One of the hotel employes looked through the transom and saw tile woman sitting on the edge of the bed. Thinking that she did not wish to be disturbed, the hotel employes did not trouble her further. .At;* o'clucj: hi the evening, the woman was still in her room, and the hotel elerk, fearing that something was wrong, forced open the door of the room occupied by the woman. She was found lying on the bed, conscious but unable lo speak. Apparently she had swallowed the contents of a twoounce bottle of laudanum, the empty bottle being found by her side. A physician was called, and lie discovered that the woman's condition was "Coal is too low in price, The stock holders are not getting any dividends out of their investments because there is an overproduction. Some coal operators are In favor ol' reducing wages. This is scarcely the remedy, as the competitive selling will create still luw er prices without aiding the coal operators. I am Informed the anthracite coal operators are beginning to store their coal, expecting a strike April 1. The fire was caused by some person who smoked in the barn—at least that is tlie supposition. Owing to the remoteness of the Lewis estate bull details ofc the blaze have not yet been received AGAINST THE LEHIGH VALLEY lujurles, BEAVER MEADOW MAN WAS DROWNED At the legation it is stated that the most likely explanation of the affair is that the bomb was thrown by an anarchist. It has been known for some time that tin' anarchists of Hussla have made headway with their doctrines In China and thai there has grown up n strong secret body of believers In anarchistic ideas. Other Important subjects naturally will be considered, among them the scandals disclosed in the departments of agriculture and the Interior, the work of the department of justice in the beef trust cases, the regulation of railroad freight rates, the progress made in the construction of the Panama canal and the conclusion of peace between Hussla and Japan.

Her address abounded in appropriate Illustrations and experiences, many of tliem drawn from her own work in the Memorial Presbyterian Sunday school, Wilkesbarre, where she ban ha*! charge of the primary class for many years. Mrs. Gregory is a lady of pleasing personality and Is always a welcome visitor in this city. The lifeless body at John Gillespie, a well known young man of Beaver Meadow, was found in the stream known as Blaok Creek, near Black Creek Junction, below Weatherly, yesterday afternoon, .lie was evidently drowned, but the manner In which lie met his tragic fate will perhaps never be known, for no one saw him come to his death.

Much material for the discussion of these subjects President Itoosevelt has in hand, and the last days of his stay ut Sagamore Hill are being devoted to the preparation of the part of his message which will deal with them. Kew visitors have been received since the adjournment of the peace conference, the president desiring to he as free as possible from Interruption while" working on his message.
